chairman nolan: director heinicke? director heinicke: i have a two- part question. why is it down, and are you confident it will go back up in the next quarter or two? >> why is it down? let me start with the first part of the question. part of it is what we mentioned, in what we mentioned in this particular quarter, there was a 29% drop, et and part of this is what we described. there are three categories of routes. and one was circuitous and does not have a chance. it makes a number of stops, and it shows upper -- up. we hold it intentionally to connect with four or five routes that run at night. another one is the express. in this particular corner that was measured, we wait for the train to take people in this particular quarter. almost 60% of the time, so that is going to reflect it. the other one i wanted to point out, because it reflects the on- time performance on the rail system is the kt line. it is the longest, and one of the reasons it is hardest to keep on time, because it has no flexibility once you leave. there is no switch, which means we do not have

director heinicke: we had some very intimate information -- anti-information rules. i am not complaining, i am just saying. chairman nolan: all in favor, say aye. a break, yes. we will be back here, let's see, how about five minutes until? director beach was very good about the brakes. director heinicke: i asked about it at the last meeting. >> director hynix the it is recusing himself. >> we have members of the public who wish to speak. >> we're asking for the most expedited award possible. this issue has been going on for two years. in our opinion, the garages are unstable as far as the operations are concerned. three of them, we don't even have bonafide collective bargaining agreements, but that is our problem. we want transparency and it is very important. i believe that some of the instability is rooted in court decisions that have been made about adherence to complete revenue control that goes back some years. that being said, this should have happened a long time ago and we're not tell you -- here to tell you who these are for the we're asking for the stabilit

chairman nolan: director heinicke? director heinicke: first of all, just to reiterate what was said, what i had written down, when we put in the first changes, we have a lot of people come to say that the sky would fall if we did some things, and the sky is still there, and while i think people are not going to say this, i think people are accommodating these changes well. i would urge our fellow board members that this is an entire package. et with that, i will go to a few questions we have. you have mentioned replacing stop signs with signals. i assume this is because they will have some sort of priority mechanism? >> thank you for that clarification. we are implementing this into the radio replacement project, which has funding to do so, and the radio actually becomes the communication device, so around the time we are looking at wrapping up the environmental work, which will also have that technology in place to take advantage of -- we also have that. director heinicke: in terms of the immediate travel times, i app
